Cream of Mushroom Soup

Details

Yields: 3 cups of condensed soup

Notes

This makes a condensed soup similar to what you'd get out of a Cambel's can. I typically use this in place of such cans in my green bean casserole and stroganoff.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon butter
• 8 ounces white button mushrooms sliced
• ¾ cup chicken broth
• ½ teaspoon granulated onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• ½ cup half and half
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter until foaming. Add mushrooms and cook until they have released most of their liquid, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Add flour and gently mix into the mushrooms. Be careful not to burn the flour, but it should gain a golden color.

Add chopped garlic and stir until fragrant.

Stir in chicken broth and granulated onion. Bring to a simmer. Stir in milk and cook until soup has thickened.
